Definitions

  • the present invention concerns the field of collection and analysis of nanoparticles susceptible of being present in suspension in the air.
  • the present invention proposes to improve the securing of the opening of such a cassette in order to guarantee the integrity of the sampling.
  • nanoparticles or particles with nanometer dimensions, have been the subject of intense research and their use has begun to spread into various fields such as health, microelectronics, energy technologies or ordinary consumer products such as paints and cosmetics. It is therefore necessary to create methods for evaluation and monitoring of the exposure of workers, consumers and the environment to nanoparticles.
  • sampling devices adapted to be portable and secured as a unit to the work clothes of a worker at a station for the manufacture of nano-objects or the processing of nano-materials might prove to be mandatory.
  • the method of choice for sampling consists in aspirating a flow of air liable to be laden with particles through a filter which is then analyzed by various techniques (gravimetry, microscopy, XRF, etc.).
  • sampling devices also known as cassette samplers are already known, these being portable and having to sample an aerosol contamination liable to be inhaled through the mouth and the nose of an individual during his respiration.
  • a sampler is a device which comprises in particular means of aspiration and on which is secured, generally in removable manner, a sampling cassette holding at least one filter for sampling of contaminants by aspiration.
  • the U.S. Pat. No. 4,961,916 concerns a sampling device for gaseous and particulate pollutants comprising a cassette inside which three filters are stacked one on top of the other and comprising two openings on either side of these filters, one of them emerging into the outside environment liable to be polluted and the other one emptying into a pipe connected to a suction pump.
  • the first filter enables collecting of only the particulate fraction of the aerosol
  • the second filter previously impregnated with a reagent, enables a selective reaction with one or more gaseous compounds
  • the third filter only has the function of stiffening the filter assembly.
  • the sampling with which this patent is concerned is the collection of gaseous and particulate isocyanates which are present in polluted air.
  • the U.S. Pat. No. 5,205,155 for its part discloses a sampling device for asbestos fibers liable to be in suspension in the air and its concern is the nonuniform deposition on the filter housed in the sampling cassette.
  • the patent proposes designing the inlet of the cassette, that is, the one near the aspiration orifice of the particular environment, in a flared shape and making it smooth so as to promote a homogeneous deposition of particles on the filter.
  • Patent application US 2008/0196514A1 concerns an individual sampling device for dust, used to collect the inhalable fraction of airborne particles.
  • This patent describes various shape ratios of the cassette (ratios between length L and inlet diameter D of the opening) which, according to it, allow an improvement in the sampling by aspiration. What is more, this patent mentions that, for the most representative nature of the inhalation through the nose, it is advantageous to provide a vertical orientation of the air flow aspirated from bottom to top.
  • Patent application US 2009/0272202A1 concerns an individual sampling device for nanoparticles comprising a cassette with different stages of selection of particles depending on their size.
  • the disclosed device comprises an assembly bringing together the different stages with assembly plates held together by springs and guide rods used for guidance during the assembly process.
  • the general purpose of the invention is thus to mitigate some or all of the drawbacks of the prior art and especially to improve the cassette according to patent application FR2981154, and thus to propose a solution which guarantees the integrity of the sampling accomplished by a device for sampling and transporting of nano-objects liable to be present in an aerosol and to make sure of the traceability of the sampling up to the point of the elemental analysis proper, even in a situation where an unauthorized person might have adequate means for the opening of the cassette of the device in the assembled configuration.
  • elemental analysis is an analysis able to determine which atomic elements (titanium, carbon, nickel, etc.) are present, as well as their atomic percentage in the sample.
  • an elemental analysis is not able to determine the structure or how these elements are assembled with one another.
  • One particular purpose of the invention is to propose a device of this kind which is simple to produce and low in cost.
  • the invention first of all involves an assembly for sampling and transporting nano-objects liable to be present in an aerosol for the purposes of their analysis, comprising:
  • the arrangement of the edges of the seat for fixation of the cassette relative to the clipping means is such that they cannot be reached physically, either manually or by a tool, even one adapted to their unclipping, in the assembled configuration of the pieces, when the cassette is in its configuration secured to the apparatus.
  • the securing of the opening of the cassette is improved, since when it is secured to the apparatus even a tool adapted to unclipping the means of clipping of the pieces cannot physically reach these means.
  • the securing of the opening of the cassette according to the invention makes it possible to limit the risks of contamination of the filter.
  • the sources of contamination can be classified into three categories, which can be enumerated as follows:
  • the invention makes it possible to strengthen this securing of the sampling: once inserted into its fixation seat on the apparatus, the cassette no longer allows the use of the tool to open it.
  • the cassette first needs to be extracted from its seat.
  • an unauthorized user who is nonetheless tempted to open the cassette would be forced to remove it from the apparatus to which it is secured.
  • an appropriate detection system integrated in the apparatus such as a sound and/or visual alarm, then allows a detecting of the unwanted removal of the cassette, and then interrupting of the sampling. Moreover, a registration of this interruption can then be done.
  • the solution according to the invention makes it possible to increase the compactness and robustness of the sampling cassette, of the production tooling for the cassette, as well as of the opening tool of the cassette, and allows their cost to be decreased.
  • the reduction in size of the cassette is advantageous both from a standpoint of ergonomics and from one of handling or storage.
  • the gain in terms of material cost is linked to the fact that a cassette according to the invention is more compact than a cassette according to patent application FR 2981154. This compactness implies a cost for the tooling to manufacture the cassette (injection molds) that is also lower than that of a cassette according to patent application FR 2981154.
  • the invention likewise deals with a sampling device for the assembly described above, wherein the means of holding the filter comprise two shoulders, one produced on an internal periphery of the first piece and the other on an internal periphery of the second piece, the device comprising a filter holder held by squeezing between the two shoulders.
  • At least one of the pieces comprises a notch running straight through the annular rim
  • the filter holder comprises a tongue that is complementary to the notch (or notches) and to which an identification element of the filter is secured, such that in the assembled configuration of the pieces and in the configuration of the cassette secured to the apparatus the identification element is in contact with the outer environment.
  • the identification element is preferably an electronic chip or a radiofrequency ID tag (RFID) or a two-dimensional barcode, of the Datamatrix® type. It may be secured by a gluing technique, by engraving, by overmolding or by tampography. The identification element may also be simply numbers and/or letters in order to be visible and read directly by a person.
  • RFID radiofrequency ID tag
  • the identification element may also be simply numbers and/or letters in order to be visible and read directly by a person.
  • RFID tag can be lodged in the lower piece of the cassette.
  • This variant has the advantage of preserving identification on the filter itself, and of being able to subject the filter to analyses which might alter the electronic circuit of a RFID tag. Specifically, by lodging a RFID tag in one and/or the other pieces of the cassette, there are no longer any electronics integrated directly in the filter and the filter holder, and thus an analysis undergone by the filter does not disrupt the electronic circuit of the tag. This also has the advantage of allowing the RFID chip to be brought closer to the sampling apparatus and thus of the transmission power of its antenna being reduced.
  • the filter holder is deformable by compression in order to be flattened by the first and second pieces in the assembled configuration and thus form a single gasket.
  • the filter can be made of membranes made of alumina; silica, quartz or borosilicate fibers; cellulose or its derivatives such as methylcellulose (MCE); polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF); polyestersulfone (PES); polystyrene (PS); polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE); polycarbonate (PC).
  • MCE methylcellulose
  • PVDF polyvinylidene fluoride
  • PS polyestersulfone
  • PS polystyrene
  • PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
  • PC polycarbonate
  • it is several micrometers to several tens of micrometers thick, for example, 10 to 200 micrometers.
  • the filters have a thickness between 5 and 30 ⁇ m.
  • the first and second pieces and the filter holder are based on thermoplastic material, preferably polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyamide 6 (PA6), polyamide 66 (PA66), polycarbonate (PC), polypropylene (PP) or polyoxymethylene copolymer (POM-C).

  • the first clipping means are formed by a number equal to n of elastically deformable feet whose end comprises an opening and which are arranged on the first piece, being spaced apart by an angular position equal to it 2 ⁇ /n, and in that the second clipping means are formed by a same number n of protrusions of complementary shape to the openings and arranged on the second piece, being spaced apart by the same angular position equal to it 2 ⁇ /n as the feet.
  • the invention further deals with a tool designed to perform the unclipping of the two pieces of the cassette, comprising pins which are spaced apart from each other by the same position as the protrusions and able to exert a thrusting on the latter, laterally to the longitudinal axis of the cassette.
  • the tool can further comprise means of mechanical guiding able to guide the tool underneath the piece provided with protrusions in order to facilitate the simultaneous lateral thrusting of the pins against the protrusions.
  • the invention deals with the use of an assembly as described above as an assembly for monitoring the exposure of workers at a manufacturing station for nano-objects, processing of nano-materials, or use of products containing them.

  • the aspiration can of course be provided along a reverse path, that is, from the orifice 10 to the orifice 20 .
  • the nano-objects or particles of micrometer size so aspirated will be collected on the filter held in the cassette.
  • the cassette is oriented so that the sampling is as representative as possible of the respiration by being located less than 30 cm from the respiratory passages.

  • the feet 21 with their openings 210 fit into and are clipped precisely in the cavities 11 and around the protrusions 110 ( FIGS. 1A and 2 ).
  • FIGS. 4 and 4A show the cassette with the pieces 1 , 2 assembled together, such that it is secured to the sampling apparatus 6 integrating the aspiration pump for the contaminants.
